Avocado

Avocado - Persea Americana

Oil from avocados is obtained by cold pressing the pulp of avocado and you get a healthy, thick oil that is as well suited both for eating and on your skin.

Avocado oil renews dry skin. It provides plenty of moisture because of its high content of Vitamin E. Vitamin E will also help the skin's elasticity and has a healing effect. Read more about Vitamin E here.

The oil also contains high levels of Vitamin B, C, D, K, A, calcium and chlorophyll. Avocado oil is incredibly beneficial for both skin and health.

Avocado oil is a deeply penetrating oil. The oil goes into the deeper layers of the skin and helps bring moisture into the skin. This makes it suitable to remove fine lines. Avocado Oil moisturizes dehydrated skin (remember that even oily skin can become dehydrated) and makes rough skin soft. The fatty acids in avocado resembles the skin's own sebum and will not clog pores.

Avocados can also increase collagen in the skin and therefore this is a good oil against aging. You will find this emollient oil in our face oils, Herbal Face Oil and Active Face Oil.
